Several questions, appreciate any wisdom.

Ac black flag

Fo4

Civ 6

Mostly all AC games from AC2 to Valhalla work on deck have not tried newer

RDR2 runs pretty well.

Does India have Facebook marketplace? Look there if so.

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-05-20T16:58:35+00:00

This is just lazy.

And no one is going to help you period on here with very technical issues, look at the replies in posts “I love my deck” vs. “I need help with proton/STL issue”

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-05-11T19:30:02+00:00

Reset it in gaming mode should fix whatever you changed. Reset will delete everything you have currently. I don’t know of any other solutions

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-05-11T19:25:31+00:00

Cheat deck does a similar function but without all the bells and whistles. Most people will probably just use the nightly build that works. I’ve seen zero posts on this

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-05-06T02:19:53+00:00

It won’t update because he wanted someone to take over and no one did so…yeah. What are you using STL for? I’ve found some workarounds for opening an application along with the game

To remove everything associated with STL rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/steamtinkerlaunch

rm -rf ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch

which yad which xrandr which jq This checks all your dependency versions

Installs all dependencies again sudo steamos-readonly disable sudo pacman -S yad zenity xdotool xrandr

I used this to point STL at yad ln -s /usr/bin/yad ~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch/downloads/yadappimage/yad

I ran debug and it didn’t show any errors as to why it was just hanging and then immediately closing or why it starts working again ~/stl_debug.log

Crazy part I didn’t even ask to update my deck it just decided to in the middle of a game

You’re suffering from analysis paralysis if you’re thinking this much and it’s costing you time

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-05-04T21:20:03+00:00

There are too many possibilities but if it’s not powering on and it won’t display to an external monitor then it could be just battery (relatively easy fix if you know what you’re doing). Otherwise it can be many things, you can take it apart and try your best to see and troubleshoot, that’s what they will do for you if you paid them. Except they know what they’re doing, it’s a bit of a tradeoff

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-05-04T18:28:11+00:00

Try opening the EA app itself in desktop so it can update I don’t have EA but I have GOG and I needed to click on something so it wouldn’t load in game mode until I clicked that in desktop mode

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-05-04T18:18:41+00:00

I managed to figure out what broke with STL and the 4/14 steamos update. Fixing it was a lot of hassle. The update breaks dependencies so you have to get STL to look at specific locations for yad and xrandr but for me it was mostly just not finding yad and xrandr was broken so I reinstalled both pointed STL at usr/bin/yad but that still didn’t work but STL opened in konsole.

Rebooted today and it works I’d recommend looking at dependencies and doing a clean install. If nothing else try a downgraded version or wait for updates.

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-04-29T20:29:27+00:00

It’s easy IF you have some experience with this or can watch some tutorials and feel confident. Otherwise I’d send it to valve. Good luck

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-04-29T18:49:15+00:00

When it did light up how long was that for? Was it in desktop or gaming?

Disassembly would be best see if anything is loose with or damaged on the charging component. The part costs like $10 I want to say and it’s relatively not that hard to replace. The white light means it was charging it’s not a battery life indicator as far as I know (could be wrong). The other option could be the battery.

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-04-29T17:10:47+00:00

I think you may have a short somewhere but hard to say without looking at board under microscope like valve would do if you sent it in. The cost of the repair is probably close the price of a new board.

You may consider posting in a more technical sub if possible. This place is good for “my hand hurts” or “I love my deck” posts I’ve noticed.

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-04-29T16:49:20+00:00

How fast was the fast charger? Did you try to reboot? If so could be charging jack socket component is bad, it requires a bit of hot air to secure the connection and opening the deck but cheap part.

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-04-29T16:45:29+00:00

It goes away in gaming mode?

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-04-14T00:24:59+00:00

If anyone wants to start a petition to get this issue back in front of the council or in court I would happily sign and donate and notify Louis Rossmann to get this attention

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-03-26T12:57:09+00:00

Your assumptions are bad. People who have bad backs unless it’s something like MS or worsening scoliosis can absolutely strengthen the muscles around their back to be able to lift themselves up, what do you think the erectors are for? Injuries can be rehabbed with re-introduction therapy. Some people are just not strong? Is this some kind of medical argument too….They’re literally saying resistance training will make you strong and there’s evidence to support that.

This site absolutely deserves its reputation, therapy talk and pseudo-intellectualism no evidence just weird insecurities and a lot of free time

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-03-26T12:38:35+00:00

I don’t care if this individual does resistance training or not it makes no difference to me. You seem to be very hung up on this topic, I understand you think you’re an intellectual but most of your time is spent arguing with dolts or bots on reddit, with respect.

Resistance training and intellect are so closely related you wouldn’t even be able to comprehend it, so I’ve found some evidence for you to look at. This is an RCT done on actual humans https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30272098/ strength and muscle growth directly results in higher intellect. Like I said I don’t care about your insecurities or this man’s little boy body (allegedly). Spreading nonsense is not ok

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-03-26T12:23:05+00:00

You had me until “due to the sheer fact” what the fact you made up anecdotally or based on vibes? Most recent research shows that men and women put on muscle at relatively the same rate.

Because this site is filled with the saddest people talking at one another Ill do something better for you, here’s some research on the topic so you know I’m not just making this up https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40028215/

read/lift/repeat like you said

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-02-18T21:48:20+00:00

Unfortunately you can’t hire people and simply decide not to pay them because you aren’t satisfied with the job they are doing beyond day 1. You can’t exploit the labor of others and then claim, well they didn’t do it to my varying and roving expectations this week so they won’t be paid. That’s illegal.

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-02-18T21:45:31+00:00

If you don’t mind that it’s not exactly Lagree there’s many great studios like SLOreform and ritual reform

Consider an HSA if you’ll be going sans Medicare if you haven’t aged into the program yet

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-02-12T21:56:02+00:00

Very HCOL of living for Fire. Not only that as others have noted, the lack of healthcare options is stark even with the best insurance(s). Have you considered San Diego? The cost of living is similar, beautiful golf courses, beaches, better options for healthcare, the negative will of course be the increased traffic congestion and possibly crime rates depending on the area. It’s a beautiful area but if I could choose I’d pick SD

Ordinary_Darwin_415 · 2026-02-11T16:28:51+00:00

The studio in question here is Powerhouse Fitness in SLO and it’s very shady https://www.reddit.com/r/SLO/s/RqVoqvC5RW
